Well, we try to keep Ranma's exact mental state and good-evil ratio a
mystery. While many people are undoubtably feeling at the moment that
there's little doubt that he's evil as spit... that was also the general
consensus at the end of Chapter 5, when Ranma had his first 'chat' with
Nabs in the room. By the end of Chapter 6, he was again being viewed as a
possible grey area.

Having him sneer in Nabiki's dying face would give the game away, and
possibly be ooc. ;)

Well, that's true.  After all, the scene doesn't make it at all clear 
that Ranma did the killing, and Nabiki certainly wasn't acting 
especially rational and careful beforehand.  For all we know, he 
stumbled upon her after an accident.  

And even if he did do it, as Chris Angel said, he was most probably 
motivated by fear.  We've seen how this Ranma responds to things he's 
afraid of before -- remember what he did to that poor cat?  
Nabiki came really, really close, and when Ranma is afraid he lashes 
out.  I'm not sure that makes the murder (if there was one) any less 
"evil," but there it is.

BTW, I'll be really dissapointed if Nabs turns out to be not quite 
dead.
